Seen & Saved: Wilmington Pet Photographer’s Mission to Photograph 300 Rescue Pets and Reach 225 Adoptions

This week, I shared a video setting goals for the Seen & Saved initiative for the first time. This project began as a way to help local rescue pets in Wilmington get noticed through photography, and it has grown into something incredible.

By the end of the year, my goal is to photograph 300 pets and see at least 225 of them adopted. As of this week, 252 pets have been photographed across 11 rescues, and 191 have already found homes.

Every photo session is done at no cost to the rescue. My goal is simple: help more rescue pets get seen and find the homes they deserve.

If you want to help us finish strong, there are two ways to get involved:

• Share the posts. Every like, comment, and share helps these photos reach more people. The more eyes on these pets, the better their chances of being adopted.

• Sponsor a session. Sponsorships help offset the cost of travel, equipment, and editing, and they allow me to dedicate more time to photographing adoptable pets.

  • Individuals can sponsor a pet’s session for $50.

  • Businesses can sponsor a session for $75 and have their logo featured on the pet’s photos.

These sponsorships simply help make it possible to do more of them and to help more pets find homes.

If you have followed the Seen & Saved project or adopted one of the pets featured, thank you for being part of this community. We are so close to the goal, and your support truly makes a difference.
